We are pleased to announce that the Colombian Ministry of National Education has granted qualified registration (registro calificado) to the Técnico Profesional en Instalación y Mantenimiento de Sistemas Fotovoltaicos program at Universidad Industrial de Santander for a period of seven (7) years, through Resolution No. 018864 of July 22, 2026.
This new program will be offered in an on-campus format in Bucaramanga and Barrancabermeja, in the department of Santander, as well as in Puerto Carreño, Vichada. It was established by the Academic Council through Agreement No. 337 of November 25, 2025, and will have a duration of four semesters, a curriculum comprising 57 academic credits, and semester-based admissions of 40 students in Bucaramanga, 40 in Barrancabermeja, and 30 in Puerto Carreño.
With this achievement, Universidad Industrial de Santander strengthens its academic offerings and expands its presence across the regions through a relevant educational proposal that responds to the country’s current needs while contributing to sustainable development, the energy transition, and the creation of new opportunities for local communities.
We extend our special recognition to the academic communities of the Escuela de Ingenierías Eléctrica, Electrónica y de Telecomunicaciones and the Facultad de Ingenierías Fisicomecánicas, whose commitment, expertise, and collaborative efforts made this important achievement possible.
May this new program also serve as an invitation to continue building, together, a University that is increasingly connected to the regions, committed to high-quality public education and to the transformation of local communities.
Together, we make it possible!
